Researching and verifying each generation takes time:
* Records become scarcer and less consistent the further back you go. Many are incomplete, handwritten, mis-indexed, or lost.
* Names, dates, and places often conflict, requiring cross-checking multiple independent sources to prove accuracy of the evidence.
* Geographic movement and bound

* Records become scarcer and less consistent the further back you go. Many are incomplete, handwritten, mis-indexed, or lost.
* Names, dates, and places often conflict, requiring cross-checking multiple independent sources to prove accuracy of the evidence.
* Geographic movement and boundary changes mean records may exist in unexpected jurisdictions or languages.
* People reused names across generations, making it more difficult to distinguish the individual you seek without careful review (i.e., John Smith).
* Primary-source verification (vital records, censuses, church registers, probate files, land purchases, ect.) is essential and cannot be rushed.
* False assumptions can compound quickly - one unverified link can invalidate entire family 'branches'. Each connection must be proven and meticulous verification is required.
In short, sound genealogy prioritizes evidence over speed, and verification is what turns a family tree into credible history.
